INACTIVE Chile Patagonian red octopus - hookah

Overview

FIP Description 

The FIP focuses on the Patagonian red octopus (Enteroctopus megalocyathus) fishery, which operates in the Los Lagos Region, where most landings are brought in. In the Los Lagos Region, landings can reach 1,000 tons per year. On the commercial side, this species competes with the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) in the international market.

The present FIP proposed the following lines of action:

  1. Determination of stock status and management strategy development
  2. Collection of fishery-dependent data
  3. Collection of fishery data for Primary, Secondary and ETP species
  4. Establish Habitats and ecosystem status
  5. Specific Management Development
